Grains of Consciousness
J. Alden Page -Twitter-, Philosophy
We could not possibly be conscious of these things and remember all of them because our mind would be so full of useless details we would be unable to think. From all this awareness we must select, and what we select and call consciousness is never the same as the awareness because the process of selection mutates it. We take a handful of sand from the endless landscape of awareness around us and call that handful of sand the world.

There are those who speculate that what we assume to be the reality around us is merely a delusion placed by ancient beings to keep us captive.
Of course, that could be a lot of horse hookey. Heh heh.

I wouldn’t be too suprised if our percieved existence was some wierd alien experiment. Maybe that’s why we don’t know what’s going on
